The cancer genome atlas (TCGA) data repository

Question

[ha.hassanzadeh]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to make sense of the data which is available on TCGA, here is one link for example:

https://tcga-data.nci.nih.gov/tcga/dataAccessMatrix.htm?mode=ApplyFilter&showMatrix=true&diseaseType=KIRC&tumorNormal=TN&tumorNormal=T&tumorNormal=NT&platformType=6&platformType=28

As you see some samples are sequenced with a different technology, my question is are these compatible with each other, I mean do they have the same statistical properties so that I can merge these two sets and train my model?

Thanks
